Background: Inflammatory cells play a key role in the pathophysiology of AD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Glycans are known to mediate inflammatory cell activation and migration yet very little is understood about the expression of glycans, glycoproteins, and other glycoconjugates at the CP which serves as a gateway for peripheral immune cells into the brain. In a familial AD mouse model, we observed increased expression of Siglec-F-recognized glycans on CP epithelial cells.

Background: Genome-wide association studies demonstrated that immune suppressive receptor CD33 variants are associated with high susceptibility to developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Human CD33 (hCD33) regulates microglial immune response and clearance ability. However, the differential regulation of phagocytosis by human and mouse CD33 imposes constraints on utilizing the mouse model for investigating the role of CD33 in AD.

Background: Glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification in the brain. Aberrant glycosylation patterns are present in cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Specifically, dysregulation of a particular form of terminal glycoconjugate modification, sialylation, has been identified in AD.

Introduction: Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 15 (Siglec-15) is a novel immune checkpoint, similar to programmed death-ligand (PD-L1), and has emerged as a potential target for cancer immunotherapy. Until recently, little was known about the expression and role of Siglec-15 in bladder cancer (BC).
Methods: In this study, we used immunohistochemical staining to assess the expression of Siglec-15 and PD-L1 in 69 primary BC samples and analyzed their relationship with clinicopathologic characters and prognosis.

Seminal fluid provides for the carriage and nutrition of sperm, but also modulates immunity to prevent allo-rejection of sperm by the female. Immune suppression by seminal fluid has been associated with extracellular vesicles, originally termed prostasomes, which contain CD52, a glycosylated glycophosphoinositol-anchored peptide released from testicular epithelial cells. Previously, we reported that human T cell-derived CD52, bound to the danger-associated molecular pattern protein, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), suppresses T cell function via the inhibitory sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-10 (Siglec-10) receptor.
